The **Panchaastikaya** (five categories) are:
**1. Jiva (Soul):**
* **Shuddha Nischhaya Naya** (Pure Deterministic View): Jiva is pure consciousness, living through **Shuddha Chaitanya Pranas** (pure conscious life force).
* **Vyavahar Naya** (Practical View): Jiva lives through the four **Pranas** (life forces) arising from the **Karma** (actions) - **Indriyadi** (sense organs and their objects), **Dravya** (substance), and **Bhavarupa** (mental states).
* Jiva is conscious, while the other five **Dravyas** (substances) - **Pudgala** (matter), **Dharma** (merit), **Adharma** (demerit), **Aakash** (space), and **Kaal** (time) - are unconscious and non-living.
* Jiva is the second **Adhikar** (right) among the six **Dravyas**.
**2. Mooर्ति (Form):**
* **Mooर्ति** is the form, distinct from the **Amooर्tik** (formless) pure soul, possessing **Sparsha** (touch), **Rasa** (taste), **Gandha** (smell), and **Varna** (color).
* **Mooर्ति** is called **Mooर्ति** or **Puhal** (matter).
* **Jiva Dravya** (soul substance) is **Mooर्tik** (formful) in **Vyavahar Naya** (practical view) but **Amooर्tik** (formless) in **Shuddha Nischhaya Naya** (pure deterministic view).
* **Dharma**, **Adharma**, **Aakash**, and **Kaal** are all **Amooर्tik**.
* **Puhal** is **Mooर्tik** in **Nischhaya** (deterministic view).
* The other five are **Amooर्tik**.
* **Mooर्ति** is the third **Adhikar** among the six **Dravyas**.
**3. Pradesh (Region):**
* **Jiva Dravya** has countless regions, as does **Dharma** and **Adharma**.
* **Aakash** has infinite regions, while **Puhal** has a countable, countless, and infinite number of regions.
* These five **Dravyas** are **Sapradeshi** (having regions) or **Bahupradeshi** (having many regions).
* **Kaal** is **Aapradeshi** (regionless) because it does not have the power to be **Bahupradeshi** and has only one region.
* **Pradesh** is the fourth **Adhikar** among the six **Dravyas**.
**4. Ekaneka (One and Many):**
* **Dharma**, **Adharma**, and **Aakash** are one **Dravya** each, while **Jiva**, **Puhal**, and **Kaal** are many **Dravyas**.
* **Ekaneka** is the fifth **Adhikar** among the six **Dravyas**.
**5. Kshetra (Space):**
* **Aakash** is the only **Kshetramay** (spatial) **Dravya**, capable of accommodating all other **Dravyas**.
* The other five **Dravyas** are **Akshetri** (non-spatial).
* **Kshetra** is the sixth **Adhikar** among the six **Dravyas**.
**6. Kriya (Action):**
* **Kriya** is the action of moving from one **Kshetra** to another.
* Only **Jiva** and **Puhal** have **Kriya**.
* **Dharma**, **Adharma**, **Aakash**, and **Kaal** are **Akriya** (inactive) because they are static.
* **Kriya** is the seventh **Adhikar** among the six **Dravyas**.
**7. Nitya (Eternal):**
* **Dharma**, **Adharma**, **Aakash**, and **Kaal** are **Nitya** (eternal) in their primary form, though they are **Anitya** (impermanent) in terms of **Arthaparyaya** (meaning change).
* **Jiva** and **Puhal** are **Nitya** in **Dravyarthik Naya** (substance view) but **Anitya** in terms of **Agurulaghu** (heavy-light) **Parinati** (transformation) and **Vibhav Vyajan Paryaya** (change in form).
* **Nitya** is the eighth **Adhikar** among the six **Dravyas**.
**8. Sahakarita (Cooperation):**
* **Puhal**, **Dharma**, **Adharma**, **Aakash**, and **Kaal** cooperate in **Vyavahar Naya** (practical view) to create **Jiva's** body, speech, mind, breath, movement, stillness, immersion, and action.
